“What’s wrong with going to Woori Bank?”
WKBL announced the results of its nomination as FA compensation player for 2024 at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Many big fish players have changed teams.
In particular, Asan Woori Bank lost all of its major FA players. Park Hye-jin (178 cm, G), Choi Yi-sam (182 cm, F), and Na Yoon-jeong (172 cm, G) headed to the other team, while Park Ji-hyun (183 cm, G) announced her overseas expansion.
As a result, Woori Bank’s power has dropped sharply. However, Woori faced an oasis of ‘nomination of compensation players’. With the movement of Park Hye-jin, Choi Yi-sam, and Na Yoon-jung, three compensation players could be obtained.
Kim Ye-jin (174 cm, F) is one of them. When Na Yoon-jung moved to Cheongju KB, Kim was removed from KB’s protected list. And she was called by Woori.
In a telephone interview with this newspaper on Saturday, Kim Ye-jin said, “(When) Yoon Jeong-eun said she would join as KB, I received a lot of calls from people around me. They said, “I think you’re going to Woori Bank.” (Laughs) I thought so, too. If you recruit someone, shouldn’t someone leave?” and predicted his transfer.
Woori Bank, Kim’s new team, won its sixth consecutive game in a row from the 2012-2013 season. It won the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, from the 2022-2023 season to the 2023-2024 season. In particular, it directed drama against KB, Kim’s original team, during the 2023-2024 season.
However, Woori Bank’s training intensity is much stronger than other clubs. Woori Bank coach Wi Sung-woo’s coaching method is also tight. For that reason, there may be people who are worried about Kim Ye-jin’s transfer to Woori Bank.
However, Kim Ye-jin said, “I loved it (when I heard that Woori Bank was moving).” Rather, I hated the words, ‘What should I do when I go to Woori Bank?’ I thought strongly about ‘What’s wrong with going to Woori Bank?’ and was happy about ‘Woori Bank’s transfer’.
Kim Ye-jin, who was happy to join Woori Bank, said, “I can learn basketball from new leaders. Also, I understand that both the coach and the coach are very detailed. He emphasizes defense a lot. So I think I can learn more about defense,” and expected to meet with new coaching staff.
After that, he said, “There must be a reason why Woori Bank chose me. I want to do my best and highlight my strengths. I want to play a stronger defense than before,” he said, referring to what Woori Bank has to do.
Meanwhile, Kim Ye-jin did not win the KB Championship. He then moved to Woori Bank, the winning team from 2023 to 2024. However, Woori’s power has weakened a lot. The word “win” could move further away from Kim.
However, Kim said, “Of course, it would be nice to win. But I want to grow up. That’s why I think growth is as valuable as winning. If I can grow and become positive, I will be as happy as winning the championship,” focusing on “growth.” That’s why I was happy about the transfer to Woori Bank.
